Temporary road closure for an event

A temporary road closure is required when you would like to use the closed road as a venue for your event. Sometimes a temporary road closure is necessary so that crowds and traffic associated with the event can be safely managed.

When

Event organisers must apply to the Council for a temporary road closure a minimum of 50 working days before the event. This is to ensure compliance with the Local Government Act and the Transport (Vehicular Traffic Road Closure) Regulations.

Event organisers are also required to work alongside the Council to ensure all requirements to hold the event have been met. This includes gaining any Council permits in relation to the event as well as ensuring that sufficient plans are in place for the management of parking, crowds, rubbish, health and safety and insurance.
